Characterizing the tumor suppressor activity of FLCN in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome cell models through transcriptomic and proteomic analysis
25 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) patients are uniquely susceptible to all renal tumor subtypes. However, the underlying mechanism of carcinogenesis is unclear. To study cancer development in BHD, we used human proximal kidney (HK2) cells and found that long-term folliculin ( FLCN ) knockdown was required to increase the tumorigenic potential of these cells, as evidenced by the formation of larger spheroids...
